By Shina Abubakar, Osogbo

The Vice-Chancellor of Osun State University (UNIOSUN), Prof. Clement Adebooye, has charged the institution’s pioneer medical graduates to resist the temptation to leave the country in pursuit of opportunities abroad, popularly known as “Japa”, and instead dedicate themselves to serving Nigeria.

Adebooye gave the charge on Thursday at the induction of 90 medical graduates by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) at the university’s auditorium in Osogbo.

The MDCN Registrar, Prof. Fatima Kyari, inducted the 90 pioneer graduates, marking a major milestone for the university after years of challenges in securing accreditation for its medical programme.
